632 Unexpected Encounter (2/2)
Rhine stood straight and said, ”Let's go!”
The heavy wounds caused by the monster hadn't feel healed, and he hadn't eliminated the weakness caused by Eternal Blaze yet. He could only carry out the strength around level three of legendary. He couldn't summon the Silver Moon for now, either.
After leaving Maskelyne's secret laboratory, Lucien and Rhine passed the grey halls and black gates as quickly as possible, ignoring the unusual worlds that showed up once in a while.
When they pushed one of the black gates, Lucien's Host Star of Destiny suddenly shivered, and he felt a strong sense of danger. So, he raised the Mummy Gloves without any hesitation.
From the other side of the gate, a solemn voice echoed. ”Light of Judgment!”
Through the gap of the gate, Lucien saw 'Saint Ivan' and 'the angel of light'!
They had launched the attack the moment they saw that the gate was being opened!
An overwhelming beam of light descended from the heights, judging all the evils!
It was the second time that Lucien came across 'Light of Judgment'. Last time, it was performed by 'Geno', the reincarnation of the Lord of Hell, but it was carried out by the pontiff of the North Church right now!
In the surging sacredness, Lucien's metal gloves spread out intense black air, but it melted quickly.
The light hit the gloves, raising the most splendid fireworks.
The gloves cracked in huge noises. The 'angel of light' on the opposite side also performed the divine power: ”Purging Spear!”
The brilliant and cold spear of light was thrown at Lucien who was resisting the Light of Judgment. At this moment, ten fair and long fingers appeared before Lucien and grabbed the spear of light, extinguishing it.
Rhine had come to Lucien's rescue in time!
As the Light of Judgment disappeared, Lucien felt that his hands were soft and knew that the gloves were too seriously damaged to be used again anytime soon. After all, the Light of Judgment countered the items of the school of necromancy.
”We have to escape as soon as possible, or we will die for sure!”
Countless thoughts occurred to Lucien, but his action was not affected. A silver pocket watch appeared in his right hand, and its ticking sound echoed inside the grey hall.
Crack. Lucien pressed the watch with his middle finger, and a hemisphere of void immediately appeared next to Ivan, slowing down his subsequent attack.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lucien performed 'Accurate Teleportation'. As a portal of space was opened and closed, he blinked to another black gate, followed by Rhine.
Right when Lucien pushed the black gate, the wings on Ivan's back got rid of Gravity Collapse, flapping arrows of light at Lucien.
Before him was the unopened gate, and behind him was the scorching horror. Lucien gritted his teeth and knocked the black gate without dodging, lunging through it.
Pa. 'Elemental Skin' was damaged, 'Magic Absorber' reached the limits, and the effects brought by 'Magic Order' and 'Spell Sequencer' all collapsed!
Eventually, Lucien got rid of the remaining power of the arrows of light through 'Short-Distance Blink' in 'Spell Trigger. Together with Rhine, he opened the black gates and escaped aimlessly and unstoppably!
”Go after them!” 'Ivan' was rather infuriated after failing to kill a level-one legendary sorcerer in an ambush.
As he fled crazily, Lucien opened black gates one after another. Thanks to the rapid locational changes of the halls, they finally got away from 'Ivan' and 'the angel of light'.
”This gate looks somewhat weird. There are vague black-and-white patterns on it.” After they were slightly eased, Rhine noticed a rather strange black gate.”
Lucien calculated the coordinates and realized that it was not the spot of the laboratory. So, he speculated, ”Perhaps there's a special world behind it. Let's run a few more grey halls. The distance is not long enough yet. 'Ivan' may still catch up with us.”
His life was truly at stake just now. Even someone as calm as Lucien was rather scared when he thought of it.
Rhine opened the weird black gate with a smile. ”Let's go to the world behind it.”
As the gate was opened, infinite holy light leaped into their eyes, and they were surrounded by the beautiful hymns.
In the middle of the overwhelming holy light, a seven-floored, mountain-like world was vaguely appearing, with countless angels flying around it.
Lucien's mouth was widened, and he forgot how to close it.
Rhine's smile was frozen on his face. He murmured to himself in self-mockery:
”This is getting serious now…”
